summer is nearly gone and so is the review process for hawaii’s master bike plan. the public is encouraged to add their comments about the city and county’s department of transportation services master bike plan. what a mouthful. this plan will affect the entire island of oahu.

is the plan comprehensive? does it address your local area? is it a positive use of our tax dollars? our 2cents matters on this.

some have said the plan is soft and lacks the dramatic change we need to earn the ABL’s qualification of bicycle friendly community. this plan will affect our bid for such a title. despite the respectable effort of our officials and HBL, last year Hawaii didn’t even earn the merit of honorable mention. this is unfortunate but we pale in comparison to place’s like Portland. here a link to a list of their accomplishments.
